From my February 23 post: On June 27, 1990, Carl Wayne Buntion shot and killed Houston police officer James Irby during a routine traffic stop. Buntion, a career criminal with convictions dating back to 1961 and sentences totaling 105 years in prison, shot the motorcycle cop in the head, then stood over the fallen officer and shot him twice more in the back. Buntion had told people that, “If the police ever pull me over, I’m going to kill the officer because I’m not going back to prison.”
Buntion, who claimed that he shot Irby in self-defense because the officer had approached the car in which he had been riding with his service weapon drawn, was sentenced to death but an appellate court had ordered a retrial because the jury that sentenced Buntion to death did not consider the mitigating evidence of his difficult childhood with an abusive father.
Yesterday, some 22 years after the coldblooded murder of Officer James Irby, another jury sentenced Buntion to death again. Let’s hope and pray it won’t take another 10-20 years before this sorry piece of worthless shit is finally croaked by the great State of Texas!
Bob Walsh says Buntion “should be in the fast lane on the Highway to Hell.” And ‘kl2008a’, a PACOVILLA follower, says “Put him in the Express Line for 10 or less appeals and waste this piece of shit ASAP.” Now I really like that!
